What should I be aware of

When making a Molotov cocktail? I'm a pyromaniac and I love to set things on fire. So naturally I'm gonna have a good time with these, but I've never built one before.

What are the DO's and the DON'TS of building a Molotov cocktail?

Just be aware of how dang long gas and oil burn.... don’t be a dumbass

Let's start with the don'ts shall we?::

#1 Don't post on the internet you're going to make one.

A Molotov cocktail falls under the “destructive devices” portion of the National Firearms Act:
Destructive device
It is an “incendiary device” and as such it would indeed be illegal under federal law to manufacture or possess one.

yeah dont be retarded. make sure the cloth is soaked in gasoline. when u light it on fire throw it instantly. its best to throw it against a hard surface so the glass breaks instantly!

The board's anonymous, they'll never find me.

Don't just fill it with fuel. Fill it about 2/3's full then dump a load of those polystyrene packing balls into and leave them to dissolve, makes it sticky.

Half the posters here glow in the dark. Never assume total anonymity.

Broken glass being left somewhere. It's a dick move to leave broken glass.

Don’t forget to soak your sleeves in gas! Mix a little styrofoam in for loads of sticky fun!!!

They dont work well. I have a friend who wanted to do something stupid once so he and another friend got together on his land and spent a few hours chucking them on an old car he had. The spread isnt that good unless you hit point blank he said. Also, it better be on concrete or something hard or else it will just bounce, according to him.

You have to be 18 to post here, kid

WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU'RE USING IT ON DIANNE FEINSTEIN!?1? OH FUCK MODS HELP???

Just like the guy on /sp/ who got 5 years for threatening to blow up a school.

Or those retards who said they were going to "provoke" a BLM protest.

Mix with ammonium perchlorate and aluminum powder (8:3) around 11 grams for every 16oz of as and you get a great slow burn.

Molotovs are only good for anti light tank and there's few instances where they're useful.

>i’m a pyromaniac gaiz ecks dee
>doesn’t know how to make a molotov or what they even do
Yeah, real pyro.

Fill with gas and cap off. Tape an m80 to the outside. Put on safety glasses, light on fire and get the fuck back. Voila, massive firebomb.
Warning: when lighting, any gas spilled on the outside of the bottle will ignite and blow up the m80 if you made a mess during construction; you'll blow up your hand, catch on fire, and be peppered with glass shards if you fucking it up.

WHAT'S THAT SONNY? YOU WANT YOUR MOM'S HELP TRYING FINE WINES?

Be sure to mix 50% gas and 50% motor oil so that it sticks to stuff better and creates toxic black smoke.

>don't use it somewhere where there's lots of flammable stuff
Obvious one, but you'd be surprised. A wooden target in the middle of a field seems fine until the slightly dead grass and leaf litter around it starts burning. Once the ball gets rolling fire can get out of hand fast. Somewhere dirt or concrete is best for testing.
>hit a hard enough object with it
I've seen them hit the soft dirt of a playing field and just bounce, same for a lightly thrown one at a chainlink fence.
>don't make them like they do in the movies
Its unnecessarily dangerous to have the top open and stuff a rag down it like a wick. Seal the bottle back up after filling and tie the rag around the neck of the bottle. Wet the rag with an accelerant immediately before use.
>mixture
There's a hell of a lot of different types of fillings you can use depending on the thickness you want or special effects that are needed. I've heard of everything from styrofoam to hard soap to vaseline being used as a thickener, feel free to experiment but don't use anything chemically reactive or breathe in the fumes. I've even heard of a couple of auto igniting recipes, usually involving akali metals or sulfuric acid-potassium reactions. For starters a good old 70-30 mix of gas and motor oil works pretty well in balancing spread and burn time while being very easy and cheap to make IME.

use brass so you can reload them

it’s a molotov, user… oof

50-50, or 70-30? Explain yourselves.

just don't set yourself or something important on fire. On second thought- if you need to ask for advice on Molotov Cocktail's you should probably set yourself on fire

Either will burn. More motor oil makes it thicker, it'll burn longer but spread less.

google can and does fingerprint and track you via captcha

Im going to hijack this thread to not kill any other threads open right now. Im making a mini-documentary about easily made explosives and their potential/current use as weapons of terror. Im already versed on the necessary legal protections needed for making this but what kind of extras can you add to a molotov to make it more dangerous? Motor oil/styrofoam napalm is one thing I've heard. Also I could use anything on pipe bombs and pressure cookers. Im working with pyrodex but want to vary the stuff used. Emphasis on accessible and easy as anything requiring a lab ruins the point.

nsa does have backdoor access into Jow Forums and people have been arrested and convicted for saying stupid shit in the past.

>pyromaniac
>Doesn't know how to make the simplest most Nigger tier incendiary device in the world


Hmmm

Hello there Mr CIA

OP here, thanks for the advice. What precautions do I take to ensure the bottle doesn't explode before it hits its target?

Well, first I would suggest not being a nigger. Then I would recommend not being a faggot. If you can't handle these steps it is not likely that this will go the way you surely think it will.

The chemical method that was shown on the military channel way back in the day is so much better than this horrid story you are making me imagine.

>The chemical method that was shown on the military channel
?

Mollys are classified as destructive devices under the NFA, so. Enjoy your jail time.

a bottle of gasoline becomes illegal if you put a rag in it
lmao

there is little to no oxigen in the bottle before it breaks
so make sure that it only shatters once it hits the target

>What are the DO's and the DON'TS of building a Molotov cocktail?
DON'T be a din-DO.

add polysterene to it

Yeah OP smells like ATF. The real trick to making molotovs is to mox motor oil, gasoline and styrofoam. Soak the wick in lighter fluid before use and everything else is just overkill. I would never ever plan to do that though :^)

I don't have any experience with Molotov cocktails but I know a thing or two about napalm. Mixing gasoline, motor oil, and Styrofoam makes a mixture that's difficult to ignite until it gets hot. Napalm-B recipe from Dow is 1 part gasoline, 1 part benzene, 2parts polystyrene. Benzene can be replaced with toluene that can be acquired from hardware stores as paint thinner. Powdered aluminum can be added to make it burn hotter. Once it ignites it's very difficult to put out. If you are going to play with this, use it in small batches and get a purple potassium fire extinguisher.

lmao not happening bud. It would be less suss if you had just said "me make bomb plz help".

Don't actually put the rag into the mouth of the bottle, cap the bottle properly and tie the rag to the outside.
The rag-in method works, but is several times more dangerous to the user for literally no gain so don't do it.

Seems like its time to start using them, eh?

I've asked before and I almost always get responses like this. When did Jow Forums become so pussy? We used to have schematics threads all the time.

This, had a piece of a beer bottle stuck in my foot before because someone threw a bottle at the trash can and never cleaned it up 2 years before

OP here, thanks for the advice. This will be crucial detail for making a realistic murder simulator videogame.

See that plot twist? Videogames can be as realistic as they need to be and never become illegal.

just go to the middle of nowhere and do it, don't ask for confirmation, tape some bic lighters to the outside too for funz.

No true pyromaniac would use a molotov cocktail for arson. Manually building the right conditions for fire and watching the tiny spark turn into mighty flame storm that eats everything is the whole point of it.
You're just some jerk who wants to destroy some other jerk's property for some dumbass reason.

He's on about a SIP bomb.

Molotovs are just quicksparks.

Melted wax works well too

Clearly you don't have any understanding of how the pyromanic mind works. Fire is not a tool for him and it has nothing to do with what's the most practical way to set things on fire. It's just an obsession for the sake of it.
Artist does not take shortcuts.

Why the fuck do we have to call it a "molotov cocktail"? Why isn't there any other cool nicknames for a gas bomb, like fire water or something?

>they'll never find me.

The real trick is not to use a wick at all, but instead to tape a windproof match to the side of the bottle. Hypothetically, of course.

Be careful when you light it. There's a 40% chance of randomly spawning a crowd of student-loan ridden leftists.
